This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary scholar, professor, and poet J. Lesslie Hall is best known for his 1897 translation of the Old English epic poem "Beowulf." The story focuses on the titular character of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who comes to the aid of the Danes to save their land from a human-demon monster named Grendel. After defeating Grendel, Beowulf must then kill Grendel's mother. He returns to Scandinavia with more fame and accord and eventually becomes king. Then fifty years later, a dragon attacks his kingdom, and the hero must fight once again to defend his title and his honor. What makes "Beowulf" a lasting classic is its depiction of Norse traditions and culture. The people have strong connections inherent within a kinship society; if someone was killed it was the family's duty to exact justice or receive payment for the death. "Beowulf" also shows an interesting dichotomy between the Norse pagan religion of when the story is set versus the monotheistic Christian storytellers who likely first related the tale during the Middle Ages. Many scholars debate the epic poem's true stance on religion, but the tale gives an accurate depiction of how paganism deteriorated as monotheism flourished. A classic of Anglo-Saxon literature, "Beowulf" remains one of the greatest epic poems ever written. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes an introduction by Kemp Malone, and a preface and annotations by the translator, J. Lesslie Hall.

Download or read book Beowulf: complete bilingual edition including the original anglo-saxon edition + 3 modern english translations + an extensive study of the poem + footnotes, index and alphabetical glossary written by Anonymous and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2013-11-10 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: “Beowulf: complete bilingual edition including the original anglo-saxon edition + 3 modern english translations + an extensive study of the poem + footnotes, index and alphabetical glossary” contains 5 books in one volume and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Beowulf is the conventional title of an Old English heroic epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long lines, set in Scandinavia, commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature. It survives in a single manuscript known as the Nowell Codex. Its composition by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet is dated between the 8th and the early 11th century. In 1731, the manuscript was badly damaged by a fire that swept through a building housing a collection of Medieval manuscripts assembled by Sir Robert Bruce Cotton. The poem's existence for its first seven centuries or so made no impression on writers and scholars, and besides a brief mention in a 1705 catalogue by Humfrey Wanley it was not studied until the end of the eighteenth century, and not published in its entirety until the 1815 edition prepared by the Icelandic-Danish scholar Grímur Jónsson Thorkelin. In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of the Geats in Scandinavia, comes to the help of Hroðgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall (in Heorot) has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland in Sweden and later becomes king of the Geats. After a period of fifty years has passed, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is fatally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants bury him in a tumulus, a burial mound, in Geatland. The numerous different translations and interpretations of Beowulf turn this monumental work into a challenge for the reader. This ebook contains 5 books in one ebook: 1) By Anonymous, edited by Alfred John Wyatt: "Beowulf". This is the anglo-saxon original version based on the autotypes (facsimilies) in Julius Zupitza’s edition of 1882. 2) By John Lesslie Hall: "Beowulf - An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem". This is a 1892 translation of Beowulf into modern english with notes and comments. 3) By William Morris: "The Tale of Beowulf - Sometime King of the Folk of the Weder Geats". This is an 1895 translation of Beowulf into modern english with notes and comments. 4) By: Francis Barton Gummere: "Beowulf". This is a 1910 translation of Beowulf into modern english , with notes and comments. 5) By: Raymond Wilson Chambers: "Beowulf - An Introduction to the Study of the Poem with a Discussion of the Stories of Offa and Finn".

Book excerpt: This is an annotated version of the book1. contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2. This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorshe present work is a modest effort to reproduce approximately, in modernmeasures, the venerable epic, Beowulf. _Approximately_, I repeat; for avery close reproduction of Anglo-Saxon verse would, to a large extent, beprose to a modern ear.The Heyne-Socin text and glossary have been closely followed. Occasionallya deviation has been made, but always for what seemed good and sufficientreason. The translator does not aim to be an editor. Once in a while,however, he has added a conjecture of his own to the emendations quotedfrom the criticisms of other students of the poem.This work is addressed to two classes of readers. From both of these alikethe translator begs sympathy and co-operation. The Anglo-Saxon scholar hehopes to please by adhering faithfully to the original. The student ofEnglish literature he aims to interest by giving him, in modern garb, themost ancient epic of our race. This is a bold and venturesome undertaking;and yet there must be some students of the Teutonic past willing to followeven a daring guide, if they may read in modern phrases of the sorrows ofHrothgar, of the prowess of Beowulf, and of the feelings that stirred thehearts of our forefathers in their primeval homes.In order to please the larger class of readers, a regular cadence has beenused, a measure which, while retaining the essential characteristics ofthe original, permits the reader to see ahead of him in reading.Perhaps every Anglo-Saxon scholar has his own theory as to how Beowulfshould be translated. Some have given us prose versions of what we believeto be a great poem. Is it any reflection on our honored Kemble and Arnoldto say that their translations fail to show a layman that Beowulf isjustly called our first _epic_? Of those translators who have used verse,several have written from what would seem a mistaken point of view. Is itproper, for instance, that the grave and solemn speeches of Beowulf andHrothgar be put in ballad measures, tripping lightly and airily along? Or,again, is it fitting that the rough martial music of Anglo-Saxon verse beinterpreted to us in the smooth measures of modern blank verse? Do we hearwhat has been beautifully called "the clanging tread of a warrior inmail"?[viii]Of all English translations of Beowulf, that of Professor Garnett alonegives any adequate idea of the chief characteristics of this greatTeutonic epic.The measure used in the present translation is believed to be as near areproduction of the original as modern English affords. The cadencesclosely resemble those used by Browning in some of his most strikingpoems. The four stresses of the Anglo-Saxon verse are retained, and asmuch thesis and anacrusis is allowed as is consistent with a regularcadence. Alliteration has been used to a large extent; but it was thoughtthat modern ears would hardly tolerate it on every line. End-rhyme hasbeen used occasionally; internal rhyme, sporadically. Both have somewarrant in Anglo-Saxon poetry. (For end-rhyme, see 1_53, 1_54; forinternal rhyme, 2_21, 6_40.)What Gummere[1] calls the "rime-giver" has been studiously kept; _viz._,the first accented syllable in the second half-verse always carries thealliteration; and the last accented syllable alliterates onlysporadically. Alternate alliteration is occasionally used as in theoriginal. (See 7_61, 8_5.)No two accented syllables have been brought together, except occasionallyafter a cæsural pause. (See 2_19 and 12_1.) Or, scientifically speaking,Sievers's C type has been avoided as not consonant with the plan oftranslation.

Beowulf is our first great epic. It is an epitomized history of the life of the Teutonic races. It brings vividly before us our forefathers of pre-Alfredian eras, in their love of war, of sea, and of adventure. My special thanks are due to Professors Francis A. March and James A.

Book excerpt: It may be the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature. A date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating pertains to the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025. The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to scholars as the "Beowulf poet". The poem is set in Scandinavia.

Download or read book Beowulf written by Lesslie Hall and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beowulf is a legendary story of heroes, monsters and treasures. In it are merely the details of epic events of great people of a heroic past. The events and people that stirred the hearts of our forefathers are chronicled in every chapter. The beauty of the language is what brings these events and people to life. However language is a slippery thing, which makes older works like Beowulf a challenge to translate. Therefore we present two translations of Beowulf, one from Francis Gummere and one from Lesslie Hall. Each one has its own strengths, which we hope will be a joy for you to discover. As no translation can ever be perfect, it is hoped the reader can appreciate Beowulf from these two different perspectives. Amazingly you will see that different translations can make the story come alive in different ways. A glossary, notes and index are included.
